Naomi Osaka says she is "a little strange" but doesn't care after an audacious jellyfish-inspired fashion statement at the Australian Open went viral.

The Japanese superstar emerged onto the Rod Laver Arena court for her first-round clash on Tuesday carrying a white parasol with matching wide-brimmed hat and long gauzy veil.

It was complemented by a sleeveless turquoise dress over pleated white trousers.
